Addressing the Conference on Limitation of Armament, the French premier brought before it the question of land arma ment.

France, perhaps more-than any other nation, wants to bring peace throughout the world, the Premier added.1 1 j 1 It was as had been expected a picture of France menaced by German hate which Briand painted in explaining why his country, longing for disarmament, dared not do so. America, -he pointed out, has not realized the . situation which lies at the very door of France, in Germany.

Manly Miirlon, missionary to Paraguay. F. E. Smith, who had expected to be with Mr. Morton, was unavoidably kept away. He will speak at the church Sunday, November 27, at the evening hour. Mr. Morton stated that the diffi culty of having to work without tho fellowship, presence and advice of Co workers, which lot fell to mission aries, was made up in part by the con sciousness of power : which comes through the realization that those who are carrying the Gospel to heath en countries have the support and prayers of the loyal Christian people in the home land. He stressed the especial need for orphanages in South America, stating that in all Argentine there was not a single or phanage for hoys. He emphasized the fact that the schools, while sound theoretically, lacked instructors to instill the Christian faith. He said in closing that the schools being car ed for by Mrs. Morton and himself had been enlarged to meet the re quirements of 101 students, 38 over the number taken in the preceding year, but that more than were ad mitted were turned away on (account of lack of room, -and that Hundreds who would have come had there been adequate room, grayed away.

Saving money is not so hard after a person onffe acquires the habit. Chauncey M. Depew, erstwhile United State's senator from New York, put $100 in a PeekskiH, N. Y., savings bank in 1800. It was his first $100. Maybe Senator Depew found, as many do, that the first $100 proved to be the hardest. Anyway, in spite of the strenuous temptation, he refused to draw upon that $100, and, as a result of later prosperity, finally forgot about it. Not long ago Senator Depew entered the PeekskiH bank to' greet some old friends and they reminded him of his "nest egg." On computing .the interest it was found that the original deposit of $100 had grown to $800, -and owing to the long period in which it had lain undisturbed had achieved the dis tinction of being known as the bank s star account.

BIG CORN CROP MEANS BIG SUPPLY OF MEAT. ; New York, Nov. 21. Promise of a corn crop of 3,152,006,000- bushels in the United States alone-coupled with recent favorable reports on world wheat and rice crops suggests, says the Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York, that the world's supply of bread and meat will be little below normal despite the short age in the wheat fields of Russia. A 3,bO0,OOO,000-busheJ corn crop in the United States alone means probably 4,000,000,000 bushels for the entire world, for the United States usually produces three-fourths of the world's corn outturn. And this big corn crop with us means in turn an unusually big meat supply, especially of pork, for a large part of the -corn of the United States is fed to swine on the farms where it is grown and the meat thus oroduced distributed to all parts of the world in far greater values than that of-the. corn in the natural state. -' '.

The little "dog tag" of the army is all that saved "Private William Ausman, No. 19;W3" from a grave in the Potter's Field here following his death by falling from a downtown building. When Victory Post of the American Legion learned that the former soldier faced a pauper's burial, arrangements were made for a mili tary funeral. . A firing squad and a delegation ,oi ligionnaires. attended the services at; the mortuary, but whet the cortege drew up to a newly dug grave in the Potter's Field, the legion men objected to the burial there of their comrade. The body was interred at Forrest Lawn Ceme tery.

The bodies will be disinterred. . , ' ' " her enemies. She has proposed - The 'open door and equal opportun It y for China is all that tho other nations can ask.

There 'an be little uoubt that tne delegates vill address themselves to this prop osition in the same spirit that they iiave shown the other, although there may be difficulties of a diferen haracter to overcome. The news that has leaked out to .he press indicates that the consulta tion of experts on army and navy matters does not mean that settlement if these questions is to be turned over to the experts. It is no reflection 3n the professional soldier and pro fessional navy officer to say that .they ire human and like other people, (vhich" is equivalent to saying tney magnify trt-ir culling. But as this is not a time for magnifying profes sions of arms, whether on land or sea, it is quite natural that final decis ion should be reserved, for those who take in all other groups that consti cute a nation's population. I think 'it was an English official who said that military men, if allow id their way, would fortify the earth Against possible attack from the moon. The delegates will consult military and naval experts as on ivould consult .his .tailor, not to find lut how much to spend, but how wise y to spend that wnich is to be spent.
